unfortunately not everything online is trustworthy. Fake news is any

type of social media platform without

sizeable number of people believe this
fake story is the truth.

What’s being done about it?

Online giants like Google and Facebook are attempting to crack
down on fake news by banning suspicious sites from advertising
on their platforms and asking users to report dishonest articles.
However, many critics feel that Google, Facebook, and other
online services still aren't doing enough.
How can I tell if an article is fake?
Fake articles can be difficult to spot at first, which is why it’s
good to develop a habit of checking the accuracy of any article
you read, especially ones you find through social media. Here
are some things you can do if you come across an article that
seems fishy:
1. Enter the keywords of the story into
a search engine and get a second
opinion from a credible news site with
verifiable sources.

2. Check the dates involved in the article. Fake news writers

sometimes take a real story from the past, put an outrageous
headline on it, and try to pass it off as a current event.
 3. Find the source of the author’s
information for the article. Is the source
credible?

4. Does the website’s appearance look a little strange? Some

fake news sites mimic the appearance of legitimate news
sources, tricking the casual reader.
 5. Take a look at the headlines of other stories
from the same website. Are most of them hard to
believe? Shocking? Inflammatory? If so,
You can also confirm information at fact-
question the website’s practices. checking sites like PolitiFact.com,
FactCheck.org, and Snopes.com. These sources
specialize in fact checking and debunking
inaccurate stories and claims.

6. Is the article actually a joke? When we say fake news, we

aren’t talking about comedy sites like The Onion and Click
Hole, which write humorous stories based on current events.
